Young Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) recalls her family's journey through the time of the Walkers and the fates of Carl, Rick and Michonne in these opening minutes of this week's penultimate chapter of The Walking Dead. Watch now on AMC+ or Sunday on AMC.
Previously on The Walking Dead, our survivors confronted past demons and combated new threats, with friendships and relationships suffering from the mounting collateral damage that is the apocalypse. Alexandria is severely compromised, left a former shell of the home it once was from the carnage and devastation left behind by the Whisperers.
Now, in Season 11, all who live in Alexandria struggle to refortify it and feed its increasing number of residents, which include the survivors from the fall of the Kingdom and the burning of Hilltop; along with Maggie and her new group, the Wardens. Alexandria has more people than it can manage to feed and protect. Their situation is dire as tensions heat up over past events and self-preservation rises to the surface within the ravaged walls.
They must secure more food while they attempt to restore Alexandria before it collapses like countless other communities they have come across throughout the years. But where and how? More haggard and hungrier than ever before, they must dig deeper to find the effort and strength to safeguard the lives of their children, even if it means losing their own.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to those at Alexandria, Eugene, Ezekiel, Yumiko, and Princess are still being held captive by mysterious soldiers who are members of a larger and unforthcoming group.
The Walking Dead is the TV series adaptation of the Image Comics series created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard.
Developed by filmmaker Frank Darabount in 2010 for AMC TV, The Walking Dead quickly became the number one franchise for the cable network. The show followed the story arcs of the comics somewhat faithfully, starting with sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) who survives a gunshot wound that puts him in a coma. When we wakes up the world he knew is gone. In this new world, the dead rise as flesh-eating walkers and Rick embarks on a journey to find his family and lead them to safety.
Rick eventually reconnects with his wife (Sarah Wayne Callies), his son (Chandler Riggs), his best friend Shane (Jon Bernthal) and the crew of survivors they've made camp with. That initial groupw includes Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Merle (Michael Rooker) and many more. The show spares no one their brutal fate is its massive cast of characters struggle to survive a world of decay and horror.
